...Principal Dr. Intaj Ali stresses Malek Fahd's motto: Knowledge is Light & Work is Worship. He reads out the four items from the previous week's school newsletter: a student has won a state-wide competition for her Harmony Day poster, a local newspaper's front page features Malek Fahd's Remembrance Day ceremony, blood was donated and there's a bicycle safety message. "These are normal Aussie kids, doing normal things," says Dr. Ali, whose staff is 40% non-Muslim. "We don't have the ghetto mentality here. We want the students to experience the full gamut of life...
...Ludwig von Pufendorf, director of the Bruecke Museum Foundation in Berlin, was blunt. Kirchner's "Berlin Street Scene" had been the centerpiece of his museum's collection for 26 years; now a poster of the painting hangs in its place. Following a claim initiated by a U.S. lawyer and a decision by the Berlin state government, the Bruecke museum last August handed it over to a London woman, Anita Halpin, the granddaughter of a German shoe manufacturer. Von Pufendorf argues that the painting should never have been restituted. He said it was sold in Germany in 1933, at which point...

...goddamn pathetic. It’s not that the Game doesn’t have a considerable amount of flow and some lyrical skill—he does, and it shows every once in a while. It’s just that he’s the poster boy for everything annoying about hip-hop: The name-dropping, the derivative beats and lyrics, the bitching, the lack of subtlety are all crappy trends… the list goes on. And the worst part is hearing them come from a whiny fool whose greatest wish is to have dropped 13 years...
